[In the distant and turbulent sea, there can be an altar standing high on the sea. On the altar, there is a bell that cannot be ringed. I need to get there, ring the dumb bell, and there will be a bell in the angry sea.

The wisest race comes to see me.]

[The problem now is that the outside of the city-state has been surrounded by biological remnants. We need to pass through countless war creatures and Styx elves to reach the port where the situation is unknown.]

[The official said: Explorer, we can no longer pay you. When you return from completing your mission, the human city-state will grant you the title of brave and remember your feat forever.]

Although there is no substantial reward, Zhao Chuanxin vaguely feels that the reputation behind these titles will bring him more benefits.

After the weirdo gave him the title of explorer, now the officials of the Ministry of National Defense also look at him highly.

When he becomes a "brave", he may be able to accept more cost-effective tasks.

After some thought, he chose to agree.

[Officials dispatched a suicide squad to help me and several sailors board the ship. First, we have to break out.]

[On the high walls of the city-state, soldiers resisted with flintlock guns and swords, and the monster troops of the remnants of creatures were like a raging tide rising one after another.]

[I saw a man wearing ghost armor, leaping easily from the back of the war scar on the city, and climbed onto the city wall in a short time.]

[He was carrying five Styx elves, and when he put them down, the petite Styx elves shuttled through the crowd as fast as lightning, injuring more than twenty city-state guards in a moment.]

[A gap appeared on the city wall, and a war creature jumped up.]

[In desperation, I fired an arrow-shaped lightning bolt at him, successfully knocking it back and falling into the city wall. The guards who reacted rushed forward and blocked the gap.]

[The official told me: They will also get tired. Once they block this wave of attacks, it will be your time to break out.]

[The death squads are ready, we are going to break out.]

[The city gate opened a gap and we rushed out.]

[We are just like a sampan in the rough sea, tenacious but not enough to resist the invasion. A Styx elf passed through the defense line of the death squads and ran towards us.]

[I immediately fired two shots with my pistol to kill it.]

[Then more and more Styx elves broke through the defense line, and the death squads and sailors suffered heavy casualties. My gun was out of ammunition, so I took out the spider legs and turned on the separated long-range attack mode, sweeping back and forth at a height close to the ground. This was a good way to deal with it.

The method of this short and tenacious creature.]

[But the good times didn’t last long. A War Creation knocked away three suicide squad members with one claw and rushed towards us. Behind me, the War Creation mount I had conquered rushed up and fought with it.]

[The weirdo made a light armor for my mount to strengthen its already strong defense. He also installed a meteor hammer on the tip of its tail. When it flicked its tail, it beat the other War Creation into pieces.

Internal injuries.】

[Finally, we broke out of the siege. The soldiers of the death squad turned around and said take care of us with a sad smile. Then they used their lives to buy the time for the few of us to rush to the port, and used their flesh and blood to temporarily block the pursuers behind.

.】

[A ship was parked in the port that was originally used by the city-state nobles to escape. The sails were fully loaded and the supplies were sufficient. After we boarded the ship, we immediately weighed the anchor.]

[The pursuers have arrived, and they rush forward one after another, even jumping into the sea and swimming to catch up.]

[I changed the ammunition and shot into the sea water, killing the Styx elves trying to climb up. The sea water was filled with blood, and soon there were big fish coming to compete for the delicious food brought to my mouth.]

【Finally, we are out of danger.】

[After not walking far along the coastline, we veered eastward. We were about to enter the turbulent and violent sea. This would be a long voyage.]

[Due to the shortage of manpower on the ship, I also have to follow the instructions of the temporary captain.]

For several days, Zhao Chuanxin spent his time reading diaries, conserving energy, and wandering around.

The whole Lugang Town was busy, and he was the only idler.

The weather has been good in the past two years, and the black soil is fertile enough. Chemical products such as fertilizers and pesticides are currently not available. Zhao Chuanxin can only lend some horses other than military horses to farmers for reclamation.

The newly cultivated fields are registered with the public security office, but do not go to the government, so the Yamen cannot collect taxes.

The land tax in the Qing Dynasty was considered low, but there were other means of raising money at the government office.

But in Lugang Town, the county magistrate couldn't make a penny, so he was naturally very resentful and sent many reports to the magistrate Zhu Zhaokui.

Zhu Zhaokui felt annoyed after seeing so much, so he sought out General Jilin again for discussion.

The current general of Jilin, Da Gui, is nothing but a man of character. I have long heard that Lugang Town is a thorn in the side and not easy to mess with, but the new officer has three thorns in his side and it is impossible to ignore them.

So, he thought of a self-righteous trick.

He sent people to Lugang Town to "recruit peace".

"Zhuanxin, someone from the General's Office is here." Zhang Daquan ran to Zhao Chuanxin's home.

"Come just come, you can entertain me."

"No, this time they say they want to recruit us as officials."

After all, the Qing government is still official, and Zhang Daquan’s excited face can actually represent the psychology of the Lugang Town insurance team.

They are not afraid if the Yamen comes to attack them, but they will be very excited if the Yamen comes to recruit them.

Many gangsters in the three northeastern provinces have this mentality. In the future, bandits in Hebei and other places would rob and kidnap for no money, just to recruit people.

Once you become an official, you will be powerful, and it will be easy to make money.

Followed Zhang Daquan to the police station.

The person coming is Chengxun, the deputy commander of Jilin. This position is second only to the general of Jilin, which is already very high.

When Zhao Chuanxin arrived, he was looking at the wall of the security station.

There is a row of photos hanging on the wall, and under the photos is a small text introduction.

Liu Jiahui, born in 1883 (the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu), female, is currently a police officer at the Lugang Town Public Security Station.

Du Chengan, born in 1878 (the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu), male, is currently the police chief of Lugang Town Public Security Station.

……

Including the police chief, there are ten people in total.

These days, there are no administrative agencies where it is fashionable to display photos and text explanations.

There is also a weapons warehouse in the Civilian Police Department of the Public Security Station. Through the lattice glass door, Chengxun can see a gun rack painted with varnish. It is full of guns and ammunition. Thirteen-gun, eight-gun, five-gun, etc. are arranged in different categories. .Next to it are various types of ammunition.

The floor and walls are made of smooth wooden boards, and a map is hung on the wall.

There is also an archive room, which is full of files.

Chengxun found it very strange. Although this place is not as luxurious as the Yamenmen, it is more refined. With the glass windows that allow all the sunlight to shine in, people must feel good working here.

When Zhao Chuanxin came, he saw Chengxun observing the environment.

"Ah, the Vice-Capital Commander is here to bring you glory."

Chengxun raised his head defiantly and hummed softly in reply.

"Are you Zhao Chuanxin?"

"There's nothing wrong, it's me."

"Haha, I heard that Lugang Town was lawless, set up private courts, jointly resisted taxes, and even had evil intentions. Is this true?"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Ah, what kind of bastard is spreading rumors here, having a son with no butthole through a thousand cuts?"

Chengxun: "..."
